Fall classes for Minnesota State University Moorhead’s 2014-15 academic year begin Monday, August 25.

Welcome Week for incoming freshmen and transfer students is Aug. 20 – 24. MSUM puts on one of the most extensive orientation week programs.

“Dragon Welcome Week really gives students an all-around experience that encompasses various activities and events,” Mitch Johnson, the assistant director of First Year Programs said. “We have everything from a comedian, to a dance, to a Saturday-Night-Live-type show put on by our Student Orientation Counselors – SOCs as we call them – with much more in between. We make sure to pack our days full of activities to keep our students busy, help them get involved, and really feel at home in the Dragon community.”
